The Supreme God

He had been wanting to keep a low profile. He even thought that although he would have to speak loudly, he could change his voice by making it really hoarse and by that logic, unrecognizable.

What balderdash all of this was! All of this hiding and crouching was not to Austin's liking at all. Had he had a better option in mind, he wouldn't have resorted to such tactics. But then Raymond was there and that too, with a bone to pick would have been the quickest to find out the voice as Austin's. This whole dilemma of hiding and not hiding had no solution. After all, just because he disguised his voice once didn't mean that Austin was saved. He had to bid again and foolishly hope that he would go undetected by Raymond whenever he opened his mouth to bargain!

Austin's fears were not unfounded. The moment Raymond heard his hoarse voice, he looked in his direction, as if the voice rang a bell.

He even leaned forward and traced the source of the voice in the crowd. When he finally looked at the corner where Austin stood, Austin had nowhere to run or hide.

So what else, Austin allowed himself a bitter smile.

As the drama was playing out silently between Austin and Raymond, a sexy voice distracted the tense atmosphere. Somehow, this voice sounded even more attractive than the auctioneer's. "You are so generous, my boy," a woman said slowly and sexily. "But it's a pity that I want to buy this swordsmanship, too. I'm sorry, but I will offer two hundred and thirty thousand vital energy crystals!"

the woman declared, chuckling to herself. She had shown her determination by marking up twenty thousand vital energy crystals without showing any hesitation.

Her charming voice instantly diverted the attention from Austin to her. And rightly so. She had a stunning figure, both hot and slim to ogle at as she sat curling up in a chair that was covered with leopard print. She looked as supple as a willow, and as enchanting as a seductress.

"It's Trish! The Trish from the Flower Blooming Sect!"

Someone among the crowd said out loud in excitement, happy to have recognized this bidder.

The Flower Blooming Sect had a legendary reputation for more reasons than one. A noted sect in the Violet Orchid Empire, besides the traditional big five, its members were mostly women, most like Trish.
